The Team on a whole is outstanding , have to agree Riley and Atkins have had a bit of a nightmare although Atkins has been injured. Riley is constantly moving in field when defending leaving a huge gap for the better wingers in the league to stroll through. A bigger, stronger winger would definitely lift the team and give the forwards a breather on occasion when attacking from our own half. Have faith in our youngsters, we have some incredible talent waiting for a chance to prove themselves properly. The experience Asotasi will bring to the side will be invaluable

As soon as an individual makes the step up to professional sport in front of paying spectators he/she can expect to have those performances judged irrespective of where they are born.

I would agree with nearly all that. We need a back up winger, and Penny will fill that roll. We do have Evans as an option, but I think he is now starting to make a serious claim on a centre spot, and I really hope he gets a long injury free run at centre next year to show his value.

But I don't think Penny as a back up is the whole reason for his signing. I suspect TS will also feel Penny has some chance of making the grade in SL as well. I think he will get more games to prove this, and that Riley now may have a serious challenge to his position next year.

Depends if they are being reasonable or talking out of their hat.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Atkins had NO pre-season training this year. That must have a great affect on a player who is effectively forced to play catch up all year.

there's a line and a very small number of so called fans crossed it.
